aañkh bhar aa.ī kisī se jo mulāqāt huī

ḳhushk mausam thā magar TuuT ke barsāt huī

aankh bhar aai kisi se jo mulaqat hui

KHushk mausam tha magar TuT ke barsat hui

aap hī kī hai adālat aap hī munsif bhī haiñ

ye to kahiye aap ke aib-o-hunar dekhegā kaun

aap hi ki hai adalat aap hi munsif bhi hain

ye to kahiye aap ke aib-o-hunar dekhega kaun

baap bojh Dhotā thā kyā jahez de paatā

is liye vo shahzādī aaj tak kuñvārī hai

bap bojh Dhota tha kya jahez de pata

is liye wo shahzadi aaj tak kunwari hai

kah do 'mīr'-o-'ġhālib' se ham bhī sher kahte haiñ

vo sadī tumhārī thī ye sadī hamārī hai

kah do 'mir'-o-'ghaalib' se hum bhi sher kahte hain

wo sadi tumhaari thi ye sadi hamari hai

ab samajh lete haiñ mīThe lafz kī kaḌvāhaTeñ

ho gayā hai zindagī kā tajraba thoḌā bahut

ab samajh lete hain miThe lafz ki kaDwahaTen

ho gaya hai zindagi ka tajraba thoDa bahut
